AAKS X UNHCR #WEAVINGFORCHANGE

Do you remember our Weaving for Change Project in Burkina Faso?! Here is a little update on whats been happening.

I went back to Burkina Faso these past months to work intensely on this very special weaving project in partnership with the UNHCR. I have been developing a beautifully hand-woven lamp collection with Tuareg refugee women weavers from Mali.  

Our first prototypes exceeded our expectations and we hope you will like our home decor product line as much as we do. It will showcase traditional Tuareg weaving techniques with a contemporary twist. 

Make sure to follow our adventures as we will be sharing more of the project and journey in the coming weeks/months.
